  1. Hi Ekke,
    Wow, that’s great help – cheers for that! It’s really a shame that Eclipse.org doesn’t provide a comprehensive directory of these.
    Do you think there is bug for this? If not, I’m going to raise one.
    Also, I’m not getting those that ’should be automatically installed’ – the repository list is just empty after install.
    I’m using a Linux ’shared install’ -can it be an issue with that? Just tried: when installing in user’s home (with write access), I do get those. Seems like the shared install doesn’t get too much testing (even though that should be the normal way on unices).
    Thanks a lot again – Gergo

  2. Hi Gergo,
    I dont know if a bug exists.
    I forgot to mention: the “should be automatically installed” will be triggered if you first time try to add Software – then you’ll get a bunch of sites from Galileo projects (or Helios) – most disabled. Also its a good idea to test the Connection of an Update Site – this also causes P2 to read content from the update site.

    • Ekke,
      I was just trying to ‘Install New Software’ using P2, on a fresh 3.5 install.
      The list of update sites on ‘Available Software Sites’ is empty, so no way to ‘Test Connection’.
      Again, it works if Eclipse is installed in a write-access directory (not the Unix way), so it seems like a bug in shared install support.
      Thanks,
      Gergo

      • I only tested on OSX and windows – so you should open a bugzilla.
